The "Show alerts when passwords are found in an online leak" option to enable Password Monitor still isnt available for me, this feature supposedly got released with v88 but we are already in v89 and that option still isnt available for me.

The feature I am talking about:

Microsoft Edge 88 Privacy and Security Updates

We can hardly believe it’s been about one year since we launched the new Microsoft Edge – and what a year it’s been! It’s safe to say that a lot has changed since our launch in January 2020, but one thing that remains constant is our commitme

Any of the forum members have the "Show alerts when passwords are found in an online leak" option?
To check if you have this option go the Edge Chromium Settings click on Profiles and then choose the Passwords option.

Do you have Startup Boost? I don't have it. I also don't have the extension manager.

I like the idea that Developer Tools can be turned off:

Do you have Startup Boost?

Yes, but even the first start after update was faster than before update.

 

[amirr]

Are you sure? Because this article says "Startup boost feature will be enabled automatically in the coming weeks"

 

[amirr]

"Till now Top of Edge menu and toolbar served as home for extensions, this will change with the next Edge update that’s coming in March 2021."

Microsoft Edge 89 lets you control extensions from Toolbar

Microsoft Edge is getting extensions button on toolbar to manage extensions & check permissions extension have on sites, here's how to enable or disable it.

Do you also have “extensions button“?

I turned startup boost off and it still is starting much faster than before. Unless it’s bugged and staying on. I don’t see it in task manager when closed.

 

[amirr]

Are you signed into the Edge? I guess Startup boos works only when signed in?

 

[amirr]

I got it; I did a system restart and now can see the Startup Boost setting.

Are you signed into the Edge? I guess Startup boos works only when signed in?

Yep I am.
